yeah man. what happened to the sound off thread. anyways. got a "q"
2009 wrx hatch. going to buy a fmic and cold air intake. do i need to get a tune with just that change?

Absolutely, but don't expect any big gains if you already have some sort of custom tune on your car. FMIC doesn't net a whole lot on the stock turbo setups. It does help with heat soak if you are hot lapping on the drag strip.

It was alright. The girls that seem to follow us around and flash us while waiting in the parking lot showed up.

I wish there was something we could do to keep them away. I guess if we had more Evo's around they would stop.... But then we may get dudes flashing us or something. Oh well, I guess we will deal with it.

Heck no, I went ahead and dropped it off at my brothers to start everything. I'm installing a perin turbo inlet, replacing the clutch, painting my JDM hoodscoop and my replacement chin spoiler. I also have some whiteline rear bushings to install, plus I purchased a few trim pieces along with a new trunk liner weather strip and the front weather strip under the hood. Also have an inner tie rod and boot coming in as well as a zero sports air splitter for the new hoodscoop and intercooler. I think thats about it but I'm sure I'll find something else.

Yea, I've been working on the damn thing for months. Waiting on one part or another, waiting to paint my bumper and chin spoiler for like the seventh time. I can't wait to get it all finished so I can start going to events and meets again. She has been running really good since I did all the belts and water pump last summer but the paint wasn't up to standard in some places. Although I really doubt I'll ever be through with it, once I get all this done I would like to get all the dings pulled and repainted, then focus on my other engine that I'm rebuilding for my next turbo.

Well I haven't been to a dyno but I'd say an approximate conservative estimate would be around 250-60ish. My goal for the car is as close to 12 flat as possible but for now any where in the 12 sec range would make me happy. I don't know if you've visited the site but my full mod list is on mysubie.com, you can search for my screen name which is the same. I'll try to post a link when I get back to my pc.
